In modern society, hardware products are widely used in various industries. However, the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of hardware product's surface have always been an issue. Traditional electroplating can solve this problem, but it also causes pollution to human health and the environment.
Therefore, the development of PVD coating technology came into existence. It is one of the fastest growing surface treatment technologies and is widely used in high-end hardware products.
Compared with traditional electroplating, PVD coating has significant advantages. Firstly, the film formed on the surface of the workpiece has greater cohesion to the surface, higher hardness, better wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and more stable performance of the film. Secondly, during the PVD coating process, no toxic or pollutant substances are produced, which can fully protect human health and environmental safety.
PVD coating technology is mainly divided into three methods: vacuum evaporation coating, sputtering coating, and vacuum ion coating. The main differences between the three are in terms of processing pressure, particle energy, film density, and other aspects, which can ensure the quality and stability of the film.
PVD coating technology has a wide range of applications, mainly in high-end hardware products. Through PVD coating technology, hardware products can be more robust, beautiful, and durable. Therefore, in industries such as home furnishings, automotive, and medical, PVD coating technology has been widely used.
In daily life, we can also protect the environment and our health by choosing hardware products coated with PVD technology. For example, when choosing kitchenware, we can select PVD-coated stainless steel pots to make our home healthier and more environmentally friendly.
In conclusion, although PVD coating technology cannot completely replace electroplating at present and still requires combining electroplating for use on many materials, the advantages of PVD coating are still obvious. It can make hardware products more durable, beautiful, and reduces damage to the environment and our health. Now, choosing hardware products coated with PVD technology has become a rational consumption choice!
